Dragon Posted November 21, 2025 Author Posted November 21, 2025 I would like Pro Wrestling NOAH to change their name someday, it's not a big deal because over the years they restarted multiple times, been under few different operating companies, went bankrupt few times, they dropped the green mats and been under few other minor rings canvas changes over time, dropped their old logo and created two new logos, and changed their GHC HW belt, dropped their old tournaments, don't own most of their old tape footage, created more belts.. I'm not going into that NTV and G+ stuff, I will just say they have nothing to do with NTV in years. One name change at this point wouldn't be so much of a big deal, they can still keep their internal history and belts and the records and history of the belts and what other few things remaining. The name is a hindrance at this point.

Dragon Posted December 2, 2025 Author Posted December 2, 2025 See what they book for Kaito for the Budokan show, after the KAITO KIYOMIYA DEBUT 10TH ANNIVERSARY show ends there should be news. There's not much time left to make the show a big deal. So marquee match could help.
Dragon Posted December 4, 2025 Author Posted December 4, 2025 Satoru Sayama or Tiger Mask 1 announced the founding of a Strong Style Dojo. Maybe the trainees will actually will know the old Strong Style, or at least Sayama's interpretation of Strong Style. Which is better than NJPW's Post Strong Style or in Tanahashi words, Anti-Strong Style.

Ages ago high school me was in an e-fed and someone had a basically legally distinct Nathan Jones as his clueless muscle, ran a deal where he was sent to Japan to train under Tiger Mask at his dojo (because of real life Nathan Jones's questionable kicks) and came back as a Protege Under Satoru SaYama, or... well you can read the capitalized letters yourself. Cracked us all up because we were dumb ass high schoolers, now sitting here decades later hoping the best for his new... proteges 1 1
Dragon Posted December 6, 2025 Author Posted December 6, 2025 "I gave work to Tetsuya Naito and BUSHI, who went bankrupt." 1
Dragon Posted December 7, 2025 Author Posted December 7, 2025 (edited) BUSHI is participating in the NOAH New Year Budokan show. So is mystery man XXXX. Hmmmmmmmm. Kaito and Jack Morris vs the Good Brothers at the Budokan 3 new rookies debuted: Midori Takahashi: 182cm, 82kg Hiroto Tsuruya: 186cm, 88kg Yuto Koyanagi: 173cm, 81kg Edited December 7, 2025 by Doragon
Dragon Posted December 7, 2025 Author Posted December 7, 2025 The Real World Tag League Final is... Ren Ayabe and Talos vs. Xyon and Oddyssey.
Dragon Posted December 13, 2025 Author Posted December 13, 2025 The full NOAH new year budokan card M.Suzuki is teaming with Fujita. I was right there would be no Nakamura vs Tanahashi match in NOAH.
Sublime Posted December 13, 2025 Posted December 13, 2025 It will be hilarious if Bushi team with someone other than Naito. other than the good brothers being there it looks like a fun show 1
Dragon Posted December 13, 2025 Author Posted December 13, 2025 If it's Naito, they should do better than last years new years budokan attendance
Dragon Posted December 14, 2025 Author Posted December 14, 2025 "The expressions on their faces after the three's retirement match... This is why I love pro wrestling. I mean, they're total heroes, aren't they?
Curt McGirt Posted December 14, 2025 Posted December 14, 2025 If only Hash was here to be in that photo... *sigh*
Curt McGirt Posted December 15, 2025 Posted December 15, 2025 Ooof. Yeah. That's a pretty bad oversight on my part.
Control Posted December 15, 2025 Posted December 15, 2025 Who do you think is in the least pain? I’m saying Chono.
Dragon Posted December 15, 2025 Author Posted December 15, 2025 I can't really remember which ones in order. I guess they probably do take painkillers like some old people i know irl, for life. And there other ways around pain.
Curt McGirt Posted December 15, 2025 Posted December 15, 2025 I wanna say Chono's been away longer and worked safer for longer too. Mutoh worked way longer at a way harder pace and had his knee surgeries more recently. Kobashi's the other possibility but I dunno. Kawada and Taue, nah. Taue definitely the least in pain even if he looks like he's pushing 80. 1
Dragon Posted December 15, 2025 Author Posted December 15, 2025 I will post the AJPW new years cards when they're up. I guess Go will sign, maybe. NOAH money good news, they're losing less money. Still not profitable yet. https://gamebiz.jp/news/417599 CyberFight reported a final loss of 14 million yen. Last year was a final loss of 212 million yen. 93% reduction in the deficit. They're close to breaking even in the future.
Dragon Posted December 15, 2025 Author Posted December 15, 2025 (edited) It's good news for other CyberFight promotions like TJPW and DDT too, and for whatever else sub brands of DDT and NOAH and anything else CyberFight controls and operate. CyberFight was established in 2020. It can take a while for a new company to become a profitable business. CyberFight is also pumped with money. It has external life support. Profit, revenue, operating income are all different things, so keep that in mind that too. We will worry about those later in the future. Edited December 15, 2025 by Doragon
